Held on 9 June 2019 at *SCAPE Singapore, the grand finals drew a strong crowd for a day of strategic card play. Jimmy Koh was part of the event, which brought student competitors and open-category challengers together for the tournament’s deciding matches.
Team Unprepared Rises to the Occasion
Despite their name, Team Unprepared proved ready for the challenge. The CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School team defeated Fuhua Secondary School to emerge as champions after a demanding day of matches.
This edition featured a revised gameplay format, with a deck comprising six crisis cards, three community support cards, eight event cards and 21 defence cards. The mix placed crisis response and community support alongside defence, giving competitors several considerations to weigh with each move.
An NSF Duo Wins the Open Category
In the open category, Team Untranny Valley, comprising two full-time national servicemen, secured the championship. Their win rounded out a finals day that recognised competitors across both categories.
A Ticket to Another National Occasion
Winners received medals and vouchers, along with a particularly memorable prize: tickets to the National Day Parade preview.
For Team Unprepared and Team Untranny Valley, the rewards marked the end of a long day at the tables—and a chance to celebrate their victories at another major gathering later that year.
